Quick Employee Forms

tallulablu · ‎January 25, 2022

We purchased and downloaded the home and business edition of turbotax to file my company's 1099s. We initially selected to create the forms online but we now want to use the desktop version instead. We have already created all of the 1099s, so we need to be able to SAVE the information to the computer to open it in the desktop version. I've searched for hours trying to find out HOW to do that. There is no option to save, there is no "tax tools" option.

How do I get all the information already entered online for 1099s into the desktop version?

I don't think you'll be able to do that. When you first selected to use the Online option, you had to open an account within TurboTax Quick Employer Forms. If you change your mind and wish to use your Desktop, I believe you'll need to re-enter the information. They are separate and distinct preparation programs.

I may be wrong, but I believe you must use the online Quick Employer Forms in order to e-file these tax forms. Definitely an advantage, in my opinion.

Sorry kat is right. If you want to switch to the other method you have to enter them all.

And In the Windows Home & Business Desktop program or the separate Business program you can prepare W2 & 1099 on your computer using the built in W2/1099 Reporter or online using the Quick Employer Forms. If you do them on your computer you have to mail the forms to the IRS yourself.
